Let's say the number of seats in band is x. Since there are four times as many seats in choir as in band, the number of seats in choir is 4x.

The total number of students choosing band and choir is x + 4x = 5x. We know that the total number of students is 250, so we can write the equation 5x = 250.

Dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we get x = 50.

Therefore, there are 50 students who can choose band.
